Great Premise + heavy handed writing x over acting = not going to be back next season.

Lets get the obvious out of the way, it was a pilot, and a lot can change between this episode and the next, so I am going to give this another shot next week.

I don’t know why I thought I would like this, I dont like Grey’s Anatomy or Private Practive and I think Shonda Rhimes is overrated, but I like Kerry Washington and Henry Ian Cusack. I figured what the heck, at least it’s not about doctors.

Darby Stanchfield – love her smart alec investigator, although she isnt’ written good enough to touch Kalinda’s boots she will do

Sully’s torment over being gay, he would rather be a murderer, than sacrifice his image

What didn’t work

the lazy set up, using a new hire to introduce us to the players and how the “crisis management” game works was insulting

the new hire, this weak character thrown into the deep end, she has to be given the “don’t cry” speech on her first day (i would love someone to give that to a male character, I would love to see a male character cry at work)

Kerry Washington, when she is given lame preachy dialogue to deliver

Stephen’s proposal sub-plot

Perhaps the most ridiculous moment of the show, the president played by Tony Goldwyn putting the moves on and kissing Olivia Pope in front of the open windows in the Oval office. Secret service, snipers every where, really show, really.

An escaped lion puts lives and relationships in danger; Lexie hears Mark talking about moving in with Julia; Teddy begins to come to terms with Henry’s death; Callie asks Arizona about her past relationships.

Martin comes across a man who has a history with his late wife; a couple that has an instrument-repair business works with an Iraqi band; the band’s teenage fan wants to share his comedic talent with a U.S. soldier.

The Vampire Diaries was pretty much a yawn fest last week. Lets see if we can step it up this week. Judging from the description below, it looks like more of the same. Bonnie and her mom are back, boring. And big surprise Elijah proposes something to Damon and Stefan that puts Elena in danger. There was a running joke on Buffy, whenever Dawn was in danger Buffy used to say it must be Tuesday (the same day the show aired). It must be Thursday since Elena is in danger.

I really hope they wrap this originals storyline up soon, there is still time to salvage the rest of the season.

Elena discovers Damon’s most recent indiscretion; Abby (Persia White) and Bonnie take part in a ritual to appease spirits of nature; Elijah (Daniel Gillies) presents Stefan and Damon with an ultimatum that puts Elena in danger

Amelia arrives at Seattle Grace to beg Derek to help with the gliosarcoma case; Cristina and Owen have heated arguments during marriage counseling; Alex realizes he needs to improve his people skills in order to be a good doctor.

Lexie watches Zola as Meredith and Derek try to have a night to themselves for Valentine’s Day; Callie surprises Arizona with a romantic evening; Ben tries to prove that he knows Bailey better than she thinks.
